Don't Die Again

[Guest guest]

DON’T DIE AGAIN

 

I am a manWho knows the ten thousand positions ofDivine love.

 

I can tell by the light in your eyesThat you are still most familiarWith the few earthly ones,

 

But would not a good fatherInstruct all his heirsToward that path that will somedayDeeply satisfy?

 

This world is a treacherous placeAnd will surely slay and drown the lazy.

 

The only life raft here is loveAnd the Name.

 

Say it brother,O, say the divine Name, dear sister,Silently as you walk.

 

Don’t die againWith that holy ruby mine insideStill unclaimed

 

When you could be swingingA golden pick with EachStep.
